Abstract: While ecological rehabilitation is improving rapidly, the transfer and implementation of its techniques are still sparse, and notably in environments where consistent interactions with human communities require the appropriation and adoption of new intervention methods. How can we overcome the existing resistance of decision-makers, and win acceptance on proposed innovative and technical solutions? This paper falls at the convergence of ecological rehabilitation and socio cognitive psychology. It builds on the learning provided by social and cognitive psychology and intends to reconcile the environmental priorities with the perceptions and expectations of human communities. It presents a parallel analysis of the methodological approaches adopted in both ecological rehabilitations when dealing with degraded ecosystems, and socio cognitive psychology when dealing with communities aiming to enable optimal ecosystem rehabilitation. The paper concludes on the importance of cross disciplinary approaches enabling to concile ecosystems needs with the expectations and specificities of target communities.
